[GNC] Cash flow basis (vs accrual basis) reporting

[Michael or Penny Novack]

OOPS ---m I meant "cash flow" had nothing to do with cash basis.

a) You can use the cash flow reports with either cash basis or accrual 
basis. In fact, making sure OK on a cash flow basis can be very 
important for those on accrual basis, large amount of yet uncollected 
receivables. It's where "factoring" comes in << factors buy receivables, 
or at least lend against them >>

b) In either case (cash basis or accrual basis) you can be OK in terms 
of "in the black" but nit OK in terms of cash flow. Or you can be OK 
(for now) in terms of cash flow but bleeding red ink.

c) For those not seeing how being on "cash basis" does not prevent 
problems with cash flow (or vice versa, you are not considering changes 
to net asseys and/or liabilities.
